Why should I join?

There is no other fraternity quite like Alpha Chi Sigma. Ask any one of our active members and they will probably say that joining AXE was one of the best decisions they've made in university. Many
people join for the benefit their resume receives from our many professional events that we hold, while others do it for the social interaction with collegues in their field of study. The fraternal bonds that you
make by joining are sure to last a lifetime.
